Bruce's life was the subject of numerous articles, books and documentaries "I think he was very uncomfortable with that In 1974, Bob Fosse's film biography, "Lenny," earned Dustin Hoffman an Academy Award nomination "That is important, probably more than the content, the ability to stand up and fight for the right to express oneself He served four months in prison It was the first posthumous pardon in New York state history " Bruce's trailblazing work opened the mainstream door for such comics as George Carlin, known for his "seven dirty words you can never say on television," Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Andrew Dice Clay " "I think the decision today is really a major step forward in recognizing the mistreatment of Lenny Bruce personally and of the First Amendment that Bruce defended," Abrams said Floyd Abrams, a First Amendment lawyer who campaigned to pardon Bruce, said Pataki's decision was "a New Year's gift " Nightclub owner Howard Solomon was convicted along with Bruce â€â€? although his conviction was eventually reversed Bruce was convicted after a six-month trial and then mishandled his own appeal, refusing to follow the court's rules He used more than 100 "obscene" words, according to undercover New York City police detectives who attended the show, and was charged with giving an obscene performance In 1999, HBO aired "Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth," a documentary narrated by Robert De Niro that also was nominated for an Academy Award Paul, among others Bruce's performances at the time were littered with four-letter words, and sexual references to Eleanor Roosevelt and St Bruce's supporters called Pataki's decision a victory for the First Amendment and for the legacy of the pioneering comic, who helped transform his art Gov George Pataki granted the pardon after a campaign that included Bruce's daughter and former wife, and entertainers such as Robin Williams, the Smothers Brothers, and Penn and Teller Lenny Bruce Pardoned for 4-Letter Offense Dec 23, 4:55 PM EST Long after four-letter words in standup comedy lost their ability to shock, Lenny Bruce â€â€? whose foul-mouthed rants started the trend â€â€? was posthumously pardoned Tuesday for his 1964 obscenity conviction "He didn't choose to be a poster child for free speech," said Smothers, who lost his network TV show years later over pointed comedy about the Vietnam War and the Roman Catholic Church "He was a hero to comedians and to me also, a man who did not change his viewpoints in spite of all the odds against him and never quit fighting for what he believed," Tommy Smothers said He died of a drug overdose in 1966 with his conviction still on the books Bruce was arrested during a November 1964 performance at Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village "Freedom of speech is one of the greatest American liberties and I hope this pardon serves as a reminder of the precious freedoms we are fighting to preserve as we continue to wage the war on terror," Pataki said Despite Bruce's frenetic stage presence, carrying the mantle of free speech in the cultural wars of the 1960s wore him down The ad is one of six made recently for a coalition of peace groups including Cohen and Greenfield's, TrueMajority org A Time Warner cable spokesman, who declined to be identified, said he believed only one of the ads had been rejected, before it ran, for reasons of taste The ads, which show still photographs and video of war casualties, were deemed too graphic, Cohen said Network representatives generally cite standing policies against running advocacy ads Cohen also said opponents of a war in Iraq are wearing blue ribbons, the United Nations' color An allied group, MoveOn "If we can't get it editorially, then we'll have to buy time to get our message across " On the screen below Greenfield and his partner Ben Cohen, a disclaimer makes clear that their former ice cream company and Unilever, the conglomerate that bought it from the hippie capitalists three years ago, aren't involved in the campaign Act "CNN does not take advocacy ads related to regions in conflict," said spokesman Jim Weiss But the ads have been rejected by the major TV networks, and had a mixed reception among local cable operators truemajority The ad depicted a girl plucking petals from a daisy â€â€? along with a missile launch countdown and a nuclear mushroom cloud " Weiss said Cohen appeared recently on the network's "TalkBack Live" program "to discuss his group and their mission org, last month made its own anti-war ad, a remake of the famous "Daisy" commercial that aired during the 1964 presidential campaign and sought to paint Republican nominee Barry Goldwater as an extremist likely to lead the country into nuclear war TrueMajority's other efforts to get their message out include print ads and a campaign to send e-mails to members of Congress So while we don't accept their ad or their advertising dollars, we did allow their voice to be heard Now even if you buy time, they're refusing to let us get our message across "Demonstrate "We're not able to get fair coverage editorially," Cohen said Foes of War Have Trouble Getting TV Ads Feb 21, 5:13 PM EST Ben and Jerry want you " After CNN, which is owned by AOL-Time Warner, rejected TrueMajority's request to buy national ad time, a Time Warner local cable system in New York agreed to run them, but then pulled two of the four spots, said Duane Peterson, a longtime associate of Cohen and Greenfield â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: www Cohen and Greenfield say their message would counter the air time devoted to Bush administration pronouncements about the likely need for war "Take it from a couple of old ice cream guys," Jerry Greenfield says in a recent TV ad arguing against war in Iraq Others appearing in the ads are a retired rear admiral, a Methodist bishop, and entertainers including Susan Sarandon and Mos Def |
